I tried to photography al my Schleich horses, and I though it would be a great idea doing it in this way-in fact I arrage them chronologicaly. When I get a "new" old horse I have to rearrange all the horses! They are like parked at my shelf xD Well, I took them off the shelf to take the photos. All the horses have their breed and their serial number (but keep in mind I changed some breeds since I think some of them don´t suit with the breed they are said to be). I write the year they have at their belly, not the year when they were avaliable for sale:

Now I´m waiting to buy the new 2011 horses! ^^


If you can´t see the photo properly, visit my website

What a great way to show them, I have never seen that before
Lovely collection ! Congrtaulations !

No need to mention that the photoes are fantastic

Thank you for this great oveview

Fabulous collection! You have so many lovely ones!
I see the 1991-Thoroughbred mare (13216) is like the horse in the schleich racing set. I don't think I've ever seen this old version before.

Thank you both!

HKHollinstone, it´s not the same. Maybe the same pose, but the new one is much much more detailed, and I´m sure is also bigger than the old one. Anyway, the old one is galloping at left hand, and new at right hand (I´m not sure if you say that in English, I just translated from Spanish because I have no idea):

Thanks for the pictures, yes you're completely right, I misremembered the race set horse. I love the race set, but I keep telling myself - I'm saving for 2011.

I also like riding sets, but I don´t collect them- I only buy horses if they have anything else. I mean, if they have a saddle, or reins, or something else unremovable I don´t buy them, I don´t like people in my collection, just horses Andddd they are so expensive!

Sylobe, that is an incredible collection!

Very nice collection, Sylvia!
Our friend Philip will stay crazy when he see it!
...and I will pay attention at your collection,, one thing I'm seeing is that you are calling Pure Spanish to horses are called usually andalusian! And those with Lusitanos are the only Iberian breeds, or there are more, Sylvia?

Hi Roger! Your questions are really interesting. Pure Spanish Breed are called Andalusian, also in Spain, because the breed was much more popular in Andalucía, in the south of Spain. But the real name is Pura Raza Española (PRE), Pure Spanish Breed in English.

PRE and Lusitano are not the only Iberian breeds. We also have these breed here in Spain:

-Caballo de Deporte Español (CDE) or Spanish Soprt horse, which is similar to any sport horse breed from Europa. CDE is mostly based on Spanish, German and Belgian blood.

-Hispano, also called Angloárabe español, in English you could say Spanish angloarabian.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />
-Certosino, also known as Jerezano, which is more like a sub-type of PRE, but with Berberisco and arabian blood.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />
-Hispanobretón, wich is similar to a draft horse (but their feathers-long hairs in legs- are not as big as in drafts are)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
-Galaicoasturiano, or Asturcón, which is so small that many people call them "ponies". They are from the north of Spain. They are always black, like Friesians.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
-Pottoka, or Pottok, a pony from the nord, it´s the only iberian breed wich can have a pinto pattern (not appaloosa).
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />
-Jaca Navarra, wich is a little horse, it´s like half heavy horse and half pony. It´s from north-centre of Spain.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
-Menorquín, from Menorca, similar to PRE and Friesian, and always black.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />
-Mallorquín, from Mallorca, more similar to PRE than Menorquín horses, also always black.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />

And from Portugal there are some breeds appart from the lusitano:

-Alter Real, which is a saddle breed with German and Spanish blood
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />
-Losino, a black pony similar to Asturcón horse.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" />
-Sorraia, it´s a pony similar to Tarpán and Przewalsky horses, and have primitive gene, like Dun (lineback and zebra markings). Sorraia is a very ancient breed but it´s in danger.

I´m not sure if there are more Portuguese breeds.

If you are interested and want more info, just send me a message:)



Ah, and Mustangs come from PRE

EDITED: I aded some breeds I forgotten xD I will edit again to insert images.

EDITED2: I added the images

WOW

This Forum has got some very smart persons, I am really impressed !!!!!!!!!
I had not herd from many of those before

Oh thanks Sylvia!
What a great job, I never thought I was so ignorant, in our days we can find everything googling but with this quality and in this way my motivation about this animals grows a lot!
Now I am slightly less ignorant thanks to your help!
In fact a long time ago I've read something about Sorraia but I need to put my attention again in this animals.
Some are great but not available in plastic figures, I guess! Fortunately we have some already some Lusitanos and Andalusians!
Muchas gracias!

¡De nada!

I´m glad you found this helpful ^^

I would love to have more Iberian breeds, so I´m thinking about sculpting them myself. But first I have to finish my to-do-list and finish my exams

WOW! Thank you SO much for the pictures, too.
Extremely interesting !

There is really something to do for a model horse artist


"The Spanish Riding School, though located in Vienna, Austria, takes its name from the original Spanish heritage of its horses."

This is copied from Wikipedia
There is a Danish Frederiksborger in them, too.

So the Lipizzaners are sort of Spanish, too. Just like the mustangs, as you say
I have never been to Spain, gosh, I wished I could go
